With much of the nation focused on March Madness and their bracket is doing, the Center for Academic Freedom created its own bracket, the Bracket of Shame, which follows college performance in upholding the first amendment freedoms of students. Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel and Director of the Center for Academic Freedom Casey Mattox joins Freedom Matters to talk about a championship that no one wants to win. The ADF media team was at the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently and took some time to ask students on campus how they felt about rights of conscience and a local law regulating political speech. Video of their responses has now gone viral. Louie Christensen, the reporter who spoke with the students in the video, gives some insight into what happened on and off camera during the interviews. The confirmation process for Judge Gorsuch begins with the Senate Judiciary Hearing today. ADF senior counsel Jordan Lorence tells us what to expect from the hearing and what many across the political spectrum describe as an exceptionally qualified nominee to replace Justice Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court.
